Solved free bootable usb iso, the catch is my other pc is a mac air that I will be making this bootable iso usb. Current files on USB doesn't show on Windows 7, but shows up at Mac OS X (my computer). Or do I need to burn it to a DVD or load it on a USB drive? Windows 10 + Mac: Parallels 11 Desktop. To the guest DVD drive and the boot process. Using an external hub to connect several USB storage devices may cause your Mac to fail to recognize them at boot time. Try connecting the USB drive to another port on the hub. Should that fail, connect the disk directly into your Mac’s USB port. Finally, if you are running Parallels and you find that your USB devices are being captured by Mac OS X but not your virtual guest OS, you can also go to the Devices menu, find the peripheral in question, and choose it to have Parallels wrest control from Mac OS X and hand it to your guest operating system.

A couple of years ago it was not possible to boot from USB on every computer (where the BIOS doesn't support this). There was a tiny ISO image which allows for booting from a USB stick.

Now we have the same situation with software for virtual machines such as VMWare, Parallels Desktop and this ISO is useful again. I use Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac OS X which doesn't have an option to boot from USB or USB stick.

I have following real world situation:I have HDD with Linux installed. It is not like Live CD, it is already configured by me. I use it on my computer at work to boot environment I like and I use it at home to have same environment.Sometimes I work with Mac OS X and want to download something for my Linux (such as updates and new software) and configure something if I need.

I can't boot from it using Parallels Desktop or VMWare because BIOS in this VMs doesn't recognize my USB or it can't be attached before I run my VM.

Where can I find an ISO that would allow me to boot from a USB stick?

So what I would like to know is how to mount the.iso (64-bit Windows 10 upgrader) so that I can boot into the.iso and from there install Windows 10 64-bit. 32 bit or 64 bit for windows 10 on mac parallels. After this, I would use my backup data (from the 32-bit version) to re-install documents and software to the new 64-bit Windows 10.

Add a new Hard Disk to your VM and then select the option to use a physical disk. Afterwards just choose the disk that corresponds to the USB disk, you can even use the option to select individual partitions to deduce what is the actual # for your USB drive.

Use the Plop boot manager:

  1. From the download page, download 5.0.13.zip
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Make your VM's virtual DVD/CD drive use plpbt.iso as the image
  4. Connect your USB drive to the VM's virtual hardware
  5. Boot your VM from the ISO
  6. In the boot screen select you want to boot from USB
  7. Continue the boot from USB
